rich mix of cultures and age groups, as families,
retirees and winter residents share neighborhoods.
Punta Gorda has a unique
downtown historical district with several sites on
the National Register. With a picturesque
waterfront area on Charlotte Harbor and several
waterfront parks, Punta Gorda is alive with
activity. Punta Gorda
with its quaint downtown and array of quality
restaurants and specialty shops, is a special
place within Charlotte County. Punta Gorda
continues to be a cornerstone in the economic and
community framework of Charlotte County.
The name Punta Gorda, which
means "fat point" when translated from Spanish,
was given to the city because a broad part of the
land in Punta Gorda juts into Charlotte Harbor.
The harbor itself is somewhat unique, as it is the
point where the Peace River meets the ocean.
Punta Gorda has an abundance
of waterfront real estate properties available for
residential homes, condos or vacant land to build
your own home.
